  1. Nasus
    Nasus

    Sett wins trades early and keeps Nasus from stacking.

How to counter Sett

  1. Avoid taking a lot of damage before he uses Haymaker; it gets stronger with the damage he took.

  2. Stand outside the center line of Haymaker: the true damage only hits the middle.

  3. Bait Facebreaker before you trade, since it is his main way to keep you close.

  4. Do not stand near walls in his range; his ultimate can slam you into your team.
